It’s not just about fashion; it’s about you and what makes you feel comfortable

By Elna’s Dress Shop

I love fall! The season excites me with the first crisp chill in the air and the changing colors in the vineyards, bushes, and trees. It also brings a shift in the colors of new fall clothing.

October has always been one of the most exciting months in the apparel industry, with fall fashions at their peak—perfect for experimenting or personalizing your style. Copying magazine looks from head to toe is the easy way out.

Instead, try mixing prints with denim, adding a touch of sparkle to a simple outfit, or incorporating lace into a sweater, blouse, or tee. The goal is to take this season’s trends and make them your own. To get started:

  1. Add a new accessory to your black, white, grey, navy, or brown pieces. A textured gray or statement jewelry piece can prevent your outfit from feeling too stark.
  2. Introduce a bold color, like wine, rust, or turquoise, which complements all skin tones.
  3. Add a menswear-inspired white blouse—pair it with jeans, layer it under a sweater, blazer, or cardigan, or wear it open as a jacket.
  4. If you have grey, navy, brown, or denim pants, pair them with a top in burgundy, rust, or royal blue.

Have fun and experiment with color! While the clothing industry is changing, fashion remains important to our lives and the economy.

At Elna’s Dress Shop, we’re here to navigate these changes with you, offering the best selection of clothing for versatile looks. Don’t forget the basics—black, brown, navy, grey, and denim can pair with so many options. Remember: It’s not just about fashion; it’s about you and what makes you feel comfortable. Stop by anytime!
